As many people are aware of, casting Song of Requiem will cancel any active inspiration you currently have on.. also if you try to cast Song of Requiem w/o any inspiration active it will often not cast at all but still get the 2 minute (20 rounds) cooldown.
I was hoping this could be fixed in any upcoming Kaedrin patch, from what I've heard from other people with experience it hopefully shouldn't be so hard to fix.
I'm also aware of that it's not a Kaedrin's Class Pack bug since the spell and inspirations exist pre installment.. but you're the only one I can count on if I wanna see changes like these before the glaciers melt.
It might not seem like such a big deal that it cancels the inspirations since it's such a powerful 'spell' as it is.. but when playing on a heavy magic PW like Realms of Trinity, loosing your dodge AC / AB will indeed in many cases drastically reduce the usefulness of the spell. Early in the game I didn't think much of it since the regen from hymn of requiem canceled out the additional damage that I would get from lowering my AC, but when fighting enemies that hit for a high amount of damage per hit the regen doesn't make up for the AC loss.. not by a longshot. So if I rely on the dodge AC provided from Inspire Defense for example I simply cannot cast Song of Requiem because I'll just get crushed. Or if I've reached the dodge cap w/o Inspire Defense then the loss of Inspire Courage will cause me to not be able to hit for 5-10 rounds w/o 20's.. so I'm many situations I just have to do w/o the Requiem in order to survive as long as possible when it's the feat the build was made around.. this just makes me sad tbh.
All the info in the middle part of this post might or might not make a difference when determining whether Song of Requiem should be changed or not, It's just an example.. I don't think the argument "it's such a good buff that you can live w/o the Inspirations for the duration" is true.. it is good, but since you need 2 epic feats and 21 bard or 10 bard/10 canaith lyrist just to get it with Hymn, I really think removing this *bug* should be a priority. If it's intentional by Obsidian it isn't mentioned anywhere exept indirectly in the code (correct me if I'm wrong).
